COrpulency.

Professor Kisch has recently collected
statistics of the frequency of sudden
death among extremely stout persons. In
nineteen cases of this occurrence, acute
congestion of the lungs was discovered in
twelve, cerebral hemorrhage in six, and
rupture of the heart in one. The apo
plectic symptoms were traced, in most of
the cases, To artcrial sclerosis, a very fire.
quent corcomitant Of extreme corpulency.
Rupture of the heart is due to the over

tration and degeneration, can no longer

gave deeds. The deed was a warrantee
against everything except taxes.
Senator Finseth was in sympathy with
the sentiments expressed by the meeting.
but he did not think 1T wise to 90 so far.
He favored the graded plan proposed by
Mr.. Donnelly.
Mr.. Newell and Mr.. Ryan added their
Endorsement to the plan to tax the lands
without grading.
Mr. Donnelly said he was willing to sup
port bill to tax the lands at once. but he
believed it would be harder to pass than the
graded bill.
Mr.. Furlong was in favor of taxing them
at once.
Senator Hixson believed a bill to tax
them at once would be easier to pass than
the graded bill.
Mr.. Donnelly said Jim Hill was no friend
of his. but he wouldn't do an injustice even
to the devil. He did not want to Cypress Hill
or the Manitoba road. The newspapers
had been asserting that Donnelly was try
ing to lead farmers into extreme legislation.
1t did not look that way tonight. The
other members were more extreme than he,
and instead of him leading them they were
pushing him.
1t was moved that all that part of the Dom
land to be taxed should be striker out,
making the resolution read: Resolved, That
all railroad lands should be taxed. In this
shape it passed without opposition.
Mr.. Williams called up the resolution in
troduced in the house providing that a spe-
cial committee and an expert clerk be APP
pointed to ascertain the actual cost of the
railroads in Minnesota and The value of
their property.
After brief discussion the committe was
instructed to push the matter as rapidly as
possible, and report to another meeting to
be held in two or three weeks.
Mr.. Arneson said the laboring men were
in sympathy with the farmers, and would
stand by them in the proposed legislation.
The labor members. he said, were soon to
hold a meeting to discuss prison labor, and
he hoped all the farmers wonld attend.
Mr.. Donneliy's face glowed and cleaned
and flushed deep carnation-and the blood
in his veins undoubtedly registered 100
Fahrenheit-as a motion to adjourn pre-
vailed. He had succeeded in enlisting the
farmers in the Donnelly army and estab-
fishing record for caution and conserva-
tism which he had never enjoyed before.

A Tobacco strike.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Jan. 14.-About
two thousand hands struck work this morn

of proposed reduction in their wages.

cents on each 1000 pounds, and the wages
of those working by the week would be
cut down from SO to Sc. Yesterday Mr..

new men was demanded by the employees.

ment struck. At noon they were followed

girls in the fitting department. The strikers
refuse to return on the old terms, and the
factory has been closed. The remaining

stamps on the manufactured goods. The
entire force Of about $500 employees are
out, and the large factories are idle. The

TRICKS OF a COON.
How He Broke Up a Quilting Party in Les,
Than No Time.

Than NO Time.
Once | carried the coon with me to q
quilting at a place where there was a
swarm of bees. You know coon
loves honey better than any thing.
The quilting was proceeding nicely
all the women folks sitting around ply
ing their needles-when in dashed the
coon. literally covered with bees. He
rushed under the quilt, strewing the
mad insects.
One day Frank and / went down in
the pasture, just behind the old house
lot, and the coon came along, too. In
the pasture we decided TO take 2 ride
upon a gentle horse that was grazing
there.
We got the horse by the name and
led him up TO stump. and / got upon
his back. Frank mounted behind me.
Then the coon bounced up to stump
and wanted to ride, so reached down
and took him i'll my lap. No sooner
had the horse started than the coon,
fearful of falling, stuck all his claws
into the horses withers, and the fun
began. The horse went running and
kicking. Frank soon hit the ground
and left myself and the coon holding
on for dear life. l stuck on till we
reached the lot fence. and there, as the
horse mounted high and went over. |
came down across the rails and left the
coon master of the situation.
Father heard the racket. and soon the
whole plantation was trying to catch
the horse to relieve it of its rider.
That was the last of that coon. He
got killed and got whipped, and I've
never wanted a pet coon since.-Al-
ldRId Constitution.
